Sam "Just Sam" Hatmaker's Lost His Damn Mind
Wonder Woman's Allure Warps Brain, Bank Account

Samhatmaker.jpg
We were just checking our brimming inbox when a particular subject caught our eye: "Shameless Self Promotion". Obviously we were intrigued, but were especially piqued by two words: "Sam" and "Hatmaker".

Remember Sam Hatmaker aka Just Sam: one of our illustrious We Want Your Art contributors? Well, we certainly haven't...

Anyway, the email comes from Dan Avery, who sat down with Hatmaker to get the inside scoop on Hatmaker's collection of Wonder Woman figurines, of which he's got loads. Seriously, it's insane. He's totally obsessed. (And that's putting it lightly.)

Avery writes:

His most prized possession...is a 1967 Wonder Woman doll from Ideal Toys, still in its original packaging. “She cost me $4,000. I wiped out my savings account for her,” Hatmaker admits. “I was saving to buy an apartment, but in 15 years of collecting I’d never seen one in that good condition.”

Um...we don't really know what to say.

Sure, there are tons of things we like, but we can't imagine spending our apartment fund (if we had one) on a doll. We don't care how wonderous this woman may be, we're not sure she's worth it.

Although, looking at that picture of the happy Hatmaker hugging his WW almost makes it worth it. Watching the article's accompanying video, however, definitely convinces us. (Of course, we didn't pay $4,000, so I guess it doesn't really matter.)

HAHAHAHAHAHA, I love it!! Thank you and Time Out for (literally) shining a spotlight on Sam's terrible affliction. We've been friends for 12 years now and believe me, this photo only shows the tip of the invisible jet, er, iceberg. His collection is a camp and colossal sight to see.

This reminds me of a crazy ass girl I used to work with that built an addition on to her house just for her barbie collection.
